RE: Clutch??

no, try shifting before you come to a complete stop. Otherwise you gotta do what you are doing to get the gear to engage. It's normal. It's the mechanics of how gears work.

RE: Clutch??

try just revving it a bit n then try to put it in gear. Bike trannies arent syncronized like a cars tranny is. So a clunk here n there is normal.

RE: Clutch??

I've heard of this happening to, but try to get in the habit of leaving it in gear incase of an accident behind you or a car going to fast to stop!

normal.

same thing happens if your in a high gear (4th, 5th, 6th) and come to a stop with the clutch in

you have to slip the clutch a little to get it to pop into the next lowest gear.

RE: Clutch??

It is normal. Just slip the clutch slightly and roll the bike at the same time and it slips right in. Like Redrider, I try to leave mine in gear in case you get the idiot that does not see you at the light
